Absolutely the worst movie.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

But i find when they kill the animals esp the homesteaders amelia and Joe ? she has literally Pet domestic Bunnies .. now im pretty sure in the usa you arent allowed to breed to Kill domestic ones for food ONLY wild ones .. I know in some parts of the world ppl can get fined and charged for breeding domestic ones for meat .. but My main thing is they were pretty graphic about how they were gonna kill the animals .. they could have just had the shot of them taking the animal and saying we are gonna have it for meat and then have another shot of them later when its dead and skinned .. ppl dont need to see ya kill it and Im an adult and that part Upset me almost deleted the show :( and yes grown up on farms and seen where meat comes from but come on ppl not something that looks like ya pet ......I do enjoy the other ppl on the show though but they my least fav now

This show isn't a survivalist show. Live Free or Die refers to how the participants choose by different degrees to simplify their lives in a way that allows them to be free from debt and free from the anxiety caused by reliance on a consumer lifestyle. In 2008, the participants probably watched the world's economy almost collapse because lots of people bought lots of things that they really couldn't afford. Millions of people lost their jobs and all they owned because the bankers wouldn't loan unless we consumers (the government) agreed to assume the banks' "toxic assets." There isn't much difference between these people and more "normal" people who strive to be debt free by repairing a car instead of buying a new one, or raising a few chickens and putting in the equivalent of a victory garden. Fun, informative and entertaining.

If any of these people have lived more than six months of their lives in a rural environment I'd be shocked. They appear to be totally incompetent with regards to woodlands living. Really, surviving long term in the wild by drinking water through a hollow reed? Absurd!They appear to know little or nothing about true rural/mountain lifestyles. I realize we've become urbanized, but as a kid in the mid-1950s I can assure you any Boy Scout over age 12 knew more about rural lifestyles and rustic living than these self-styled survivalists. Anyone who subscribed to Mother Earth News in the 1960s would know more after reading just one year's issues. Ditto for anyone who ever read Ellsworth Jaeger's classic tome on wilderness survival.

Its a good show if you live shows like Doomsday Preppers and ,The Legend of Mick Dodge than most likely you'll like this one! I think there are a lot skills we as humans have forgotten that people need to re-learn and use what you have. some of these people are doing what they love and are not concerned with mainstream living I think that's I've seen a lot of survival shows and this one has to be at the top real people living a real dream not just the typical so called American Dream but what they really love doing. gotta give people that have the guts to do it some serious props. I hope everyone watching enjoys this as much as I do its a good watch!
